I suppose that the Japanese basically had that plan of action but they never got the chance to delay the US Navy for very long and things did not go their way from the start.I have read that the Japanese had originally planned to send an additional wave at Pearl that was to focus on destroying the fuel storage depots at Pearl but they where concerned that the missing US CVs might be near by so they chose not to.I think they made a poor decision because destroying or even seriously damaging those fuel depots would have seriously effected US Navy operational ability.
I am trying out the Coral Sea scenario at the moment I managed to sink the Lexington in and I did damage the Yorktown in another attack.I am doing ok so far I have not landed troops at Port Moresberry yet so we will see.There is not much to work with in this scenario though so I think I will try out the Guadalcanal scenario it does seem to have more to work with and learn.
I did find a very nice little site made by some Australian(or maybe Kiwi) guy who went and made several videos showing you how to do things.
